NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital

The Need

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital was struggling to find medical devices when they were needed. They realized that a technician was typically spending 90% of their time on non-value add functions, and the largest portion of the non-value add functions were used trying to locate devices.

The Result

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital saw a reduction in money spent on renting pumps and, in the first year, saved 50% of the cost in renting pumps over the previous year.

“The hospital looked to develop an RTLS system. Initially, we tagged 150 pumps and it was very successful. We had over 95% compliance and we decided we should expand to other areas of the hospital. Within a month, we had over 4,000 pumps tagged and in the system.”
